All management vendors for major systems integrate into
VMware® vCenter Server™ through VMware SDKs and APIs. The list of partners includes management vendors such as BMC, CA, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Quest Software, Symantec and many others. This approach preserves your existing operational processes. While other vendors want you to replace your existing tool with a “universal” management offering that claims to do everything (from Windows to Linux to Unix, from physical machines to virtual machines), VMware works in tandem with established systems management vendors to make sure companies get the best of both worlds—physical and virtual.
